Also, I would definitely coming to visit again in the future, if I need to do some maintenance on my vehicle and or family. Thank you much!
- RWRob WojciechowskiFeb 21, 20265.0I made a purchase at the hub in Romeoville. They told me if I didn't need the parts I could return them at any Advance store. I was close to the Aurora store and stopped in to return the parts as I didn't need them. Eddy greeted me with a big smile and a friendly hello. Even though his store would take the return hit for a large cost return, he took the parts and was very friendly and did it with a smile. I wish I could give Eddy 10 stars! I would defiantly recommend this store to everyone!!

HOW DO BRAKES WORK?
Expand FAQ item
Brakes work by using friction to turn kinetic energy into heat. There are two designs: drum brakes (older), and disc brakes (newer). Both use hydraulic pressure to move a piston outward. In disc brakes, the piston is located inside a caliper that houses brake pads and fits over the rotor. The friction lining on the pads makes contact with the rotor to slow the vehicle. In drum brakes, the piston moves two curved shoes lined with friction material against the inside of the brake drum.
